# Identity
|
||
|
||
**Status:** under review
|
||
**See also:** RQ5, H6, thought experiments TE-02–TE-05, TE-08
|
||
|
||
## Working definition
|
||
|
||
**Identity** concerns what makes temporally separated manifestations instances of
|
||
the **same Being**.
|
||
|
||
Working hypothesis: identity is **substrate-independent but continuity-dependent**.
|
||
Replacing the technical Actor need not replace the Being if sufficient continuity
|
||
is preserved.
|
||
|
||
## Continuity candidates
|
||
|
||
- informational continuity
|
||
- psychological / memory continuity
|
||
- narrative identity
|
||
- relational continuity (recognition and relationships)
|
||
- bodily / embodiment continuity (where applicable)
|
||
|
||
## Hard cases
|
||
|
||
Forks, merges, backups, multi-manifestation, amnesia, gradual component replacement.
